The Young Ealing Foundation is a place-based charity based in Ealing, West London which brings together the voluntary, statutory and private sectors in the local area to increase and improve opportunities for children, young people and families.

The Young Ealing Foundation’s vision is to ensure all young people in Ealing can access the opportunities and support they need to grow up and lead happy and safe lives, fulfil their potential and become a valued and listened to part of the local community. We work towards this by working with and in the community to empower small, local charities to thrive and flourish to enable and advocate for sustainable, high quality service provision for children and young people.

The Hub at Greenford Library is a key part of this vision. It provides a welcoming, inclusive, and vibrant space for local residents, combining essential library services, community activities, and partnership working. By empowering local charities, volunteers, and community groups, we aim to create a sustainable and thriving centre of activity that reflects the needs and aspirations of the people of Greenford and beyond.

The Children’s Activities Coordinator will oversee the site’s sessions for children and young people. This will include planning and delivering sessions such as story time, ensuring safeguarding and management of the space, coordinating the cohort of library volunteers, liaising with community partners, and supporting the programme of activities for children and families.

If you’re committed to creating lasting change and have the skills to connect with and inspire young people, we’d love to hear from you! These part-time youth work roles will be in different local communities according to need.

Make a Difference Every Day

For more than 100 years, the RAF Benevolent Fund has been supporting the RAF Family. We are a key partner in the Royal Air Force’s mission to look after its people during and after service, ensuring that this service is valued, recognised, and people are supported even when uniforms are eventually shed. We are a national charity with international reach, delivering emotional, financial and practical support wherever and whenever it is needed. Each year, our vital services and support continued to help those serving, families, veterans, and the bereaved, in 30 other countries and in 2024 more than 64,000 people benefitted from the charity’s work.

As an organisation, we encourage learning and development and there will be ample opportunity to learn more about the Royal Air Force, the broad impact of the Fund’s work as well as developing your own skillset. 

Do you want to play a part in what we do?

People are at the heart of everything we do. Together, we:

• Provide personalised support to members of the RAF Family – listening carefully, offering guidance, and tailoring our services to individual circumstances so no one is left behind.
• Improve quality of life for serving and former RAF personnel and their families through life-changing financial assistance, housing support, and help with essential living costs.
• Increase independence by enabling members of the RAF Family to live life on their own terms, whether through mobility equipment or housing adaptations.
• Enhance wellbeing for those who serve and have served, and their families, through mental health and emotional support, youth programmes, and restorative respite and holiday breaks.

We are seeking an individual to undertake holistic assessments of need, both remotely (over the telephone and online) and in person across their region. They will be expected to work with individuals who may have complex and sometimes challenging welfare needs, assisting them by identifying appropriate support from within both the RAF Benevolent Fund and the wider statutory and military charity sector, ensuring that support is made available to meet their need through the case working process.

In addition to their primary casework role, they will provide specialist social work related advice and guidance to our Single Point of Contact Helpline team and our wider welfare teams. Applicants must be an experienced, registered social worker with a minimum of five years’ post-qualification experience within a Local Authority or the Charitable sector.

Applicants must demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of relevant legislation, policies, and best practice relating to the safeguarding of adults and children.

The successful candidate will have experience of working in a social welfare role supporting individuals and will have strong people and relationship-building skills, as well as empathy with or understanding of issues affecting the Armed Forces community.

This role will be based in our Central London Headquarters, with a hybrid working pattern, with up to 2 days per week working from home. Occasional travel to support cases and wider Fund activity, outside of this region, may be required.
